Can you become pregnant with an IUD inserted and still be having heavy periods

i am having a problem I have three childern, I am also so very young and had a paragaurd IUD in place after my third child becaude the doctors would not tie my tubes. I enjoy being a mother but I am feeling like I may be pregnant again. My feelings in the past has always been right. I could tell I was pregnant before the pregnant test showed I was.  The thing is  my last period was unusally light and this month it is increasingly heavy to the point I think they may be something wrong because I have never had a period that is this heavy .

How many of you have taken a hpt on or after your period was due and gotten a negative result -- only to find out a week or so later that you were indeed pg!?!?

Well,

I recommend that you take a test. I posted here a few months ago in a panick, because i had an IUD and the same issues that you are having. Come to find out I was pregnant with not only one but two babies...TWINS....

Now that I am over the initial shock, I feel better. I found out that i am having identical twin girls, which is pretty exciting because I have a 6yr boy and a 15month old boy. i don't really know how this is all going to work out, but it will.

Good luck to you, and I have realized that there is no sure way to be completely at risk for not getting pregnant, if thats what God wants thats what he'll get.

If you are having periods, you are more than likely not pregnant.  Remember, not all periods are the same.  Stress, diet, etc. can all affect length, flow, and symptoms.

Yes, take a test and/or go to the doctor.  We have absolutely no way to tell.
